Nothing is final until it’s written in cake — at least that is what one Oregon woman proved by giving her husband a cake to celebrate his “big accomplishment.” But instead of congratulating him, she made sure the sprinkled frosting held an inside joke that stated, “Nobody Cares!”
A wife’s sweet (and sassy) prank on her appreciative husband has been met with a chorus of laughter online. https://t.co/tzPOwtYATN

Reddit user BobbyIke’s post of the cake on Dec. 5 went viral and now everyone is laughing at the sweet-intentioned dessert.
While the sarcastic message may seem a bit out of place, BobbyIke told “Today” the story of how nobody caring had become a term of endearment.
It all started when he decided to create his own website. But instead of just using the type-and-post website options, he decided to learn to code as he built it.
BobbyIke, who owns a printing company, said, “I’ve been working on this website for three years or so.”
“Over the years while I was building it, every time I completed any small thing like a button or something like that, I would show one of my employees,” he continued.
“Eventually, I think they just got tired of hearing about me, showing them these small, tiny tasks that I had accomplished,” BobbyIke added, noting that at one point this became so common that someone replied “Nobody cares.”
He then explained, “I told my wife that story and we both found it hilarious.”
“That kind of just became the mantra of me building this website over the past three years,” he added.
BobbyIke’s wife decided to commemorate his accomplishment by saying it in frosting.
He noted, “When I opened it in the bakery, I laughed out loud immediately, because it was absolutely perfect.”
The three-layer cookies and cream cake looked fit for a child’s birthday party with bright blue icing and colorful sprinkles, but for BobbyIke, it said exactly what he needed to hear to finish his website with a chuckle, “Nobody Cares!”
